📋Overview
Abiraterone is a medication that affects hormone production in the body, specifically by inhibiting the enzyme involved in androgen synthesis. It is most commonly associated with the management of certain types of prostate cancer, particularly those that are advanced or resistant to standard hormone therapies. By reducing androgen levels, abiraterone can help slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. This drug is typically used in combination with other therapies as part of a broader cancer treatment plan.
